Cross Country 2021

I take it that rules out Easysland unless he's already over here. 'Racing suspended in France until 28th March due to severe outbreak of equine herpes'
 
Would be very odd if they let him travel though wouldn't it ???
 
Bit.confused? Are we saying this Equine Herpes story is not true?

My understanding is - the story is deffo true, and equestrian evening and stuff in France has been suspended but not racing - it was already suspended in Spain & 9 other EU countries. It has to be a genuine concern, if horse racing was to be suspended in France, I doubt the BHA would allow easysland to travel over. How likely that is between now & next Wednesday is anyone’s guess
 
Thanks Tonic and AV. I really dont like the week preceding Cheltenham.
 
Twitter is a fucking cesspool of misinformation. I read a tweet from David Cottin and just assumed it was real. Lesson learned I suppose.
